About this course

If you think that there is only one type of encryption
– think again!

Secure organizations employ multiple levels of

encryption – database encryption, VoIP encryption,
portable storage encryption, mobile devices
encryption, Wi-Fi encryption, e-mail encryption,
file encryption – server/desktop, network link
encryption, web server encryption, tape backup
encryption and many more.

Some of the most recent attacks that have had

serious consequences share one thing in common –
they all had either none or little effective encryption.
This resulted in thousands of users being affected
and hundreds of millions in losses. It resulted
in serious decline of brand value and public
embarrassment.

To name a few – SONY PS3, RSA, iPhone, LinkedIn

Prerequisites
No prior knowledge of cryptography is assumed,
and no mathematical skills beyond basic algebra are
required.

“I work with decryption tools in my current

position. This class gives a better understanding
Duration
of different algorithms and how to attack the 3 days / 20 hours
weaknesses.”

- John Minotti Certification

Manager of Professional Services,
AccessData The ECES 212-81 exam will be conducted on the
USA last day of training (optional). Students need to
pass the online Prometric exam to receive the ECES
certification.
